In Future Shock,
Alvin Toffler argued that society is undergoing an enormous structural change, a revolution from an industrial society to a “super-industrial society”. This change, he states, overwhelms people. He argues that the accelerated rate of technological and social change leaves people disconnected and suffering from “shattering stress and disorientation”—future shocked. -from WP

Should work. Just try it out and see if you get what you want. I tried:
alias llaa='pwd && ll'
then ran llaa and it did what I expected, current directory and the output of ls -al which is aliased.
I don’t know who y’all hang out with, but my friends for decades have given each other shit for anything we can possibly think of. It’s a form of male bonding.
I read on here (I think) a couple months ago that adding “before:2023” to your search terms improves results a lot. I’ve found it to be true. Unless I’m looking for something specifically from the last couple years.
The DNC exists to protect incumbents. Don’t be fooled, the Dems (elected officials, not voters) don’t want ranked choice.
More voters went from Hillary Clinton to John McCain in 2008 than went from Sanders to Trump in 2016 -Source
I’ve yet to meet a Libertarian who wasn’t just a lazy Republican.
As I read somewhere recently, there is good weird and bad weird. You know which is which by how the target reacts. Almost all my friends are weird. Good weird. Except for Steve.
I just use Telegram with friends and family as an alternative to sms. I’ll have to ask if any of them are selling drugs, because it would be handy to have a connection.
Uh-oh. I don’t think taking away their main supporter will make magats very happy.
I’ve thought that since Russia first invaded. Really feels like the US is just trying to bleed Russia for as long as possible.
I think it was Neal Stephenson’s book The Diamond Age that had clouds of nanomachines constantly at war with each other creating a fog of dead and dying machines that people would just walk through pretty much ignoring it. I read that a long freaking time ago, so I’m sure that memory is, to some degree, degraded.
Because the drones are made in China and China wants Russia to genocide so that they can get away with their genocides. It would be nice if we started manufacturing again, but we seem to have trouble getting anything done.
who’s in the right
Nobody. That’s easy.
My symptoms are similar to yours, if not quite so bad. I can’t walk more than about 50 yards, or stand for more than 10-15 minutes. I have tried for disability after my physical issues made me quit my job (after a couple of decades being a teacher for the same school district). I moved back in with my parents. Sucks to be in my 50s and stuck like this, but at least I have a roof over my head. I’m in north OC. There is zero help until you run out of all options and all money. It’s really fucked up. Good luck.
I just learned this the other month. It is so fucked up.
The outraged tones of the Russian dorks’ statements are so funny to me.
I’ll have to take a look at it. I’ve been using tubular which comes with ad-blocking and sponsorblock built in.
If you can, get one of these:
I’ve never used one, but I know 2 people who have and most of what they have said is positive.
For me that is much more than a pet peeve.
